Is that true? And if so, is it difficult to set high trem speeds?

 

I've had one for 4 years now. Still haven't found a good reason to get rid of it. It will do very deep, full off (pass no signal at all for more than a second) plus a big volume boost. If anything it's almost TOO deep, for the subtle tremolo that I like, I keep the mix real low, 8 or 9 o'clock or less. I mostly use the brown and black modes, rarely the chop (square) mode. Speed wise, at 12 o'clock it's only doing around 65bpm, 250+bpm comes on at around 2:30 on mine. So the usable range on the speed control may be different for different people; I use mine just below 12 o'clock on speed 1 and around 3 o'clock on speed 2 most of the time.
